             abstract = "An Australia-China bilateral project on climate change has been 
                         developed to study impacts of land-use and land-surface processes 
                         on regional and global climate. This study presents results from a 
                         series of Australian Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC) 
                         climate model simulations of land-use in China on regional climate 
                         and Australia-Asian monsoon system. Six pairs of 54-yr BMRC model 
                         integrations using multi land-surface configurations allow us to 
                         explore the degree of uncertainty in the model land-use 
                         simulations caused by land-surface modelling itself. The climate 
                         impacts of land-use are assessed by applying two sets of surface 
                         vegetation datasets in the model: one represents current 
                         vegetation coverage in China and the other approximates its 
                         potential vegetation coverage without human intervention. The 
                         imposed surface parameter changes include changes in surface 
                         albedo, surface roughness, vegetation fraction and leaf-area-index 
                         (LAI). Ten model ensemble simulations have been conducted to allow 
                         us to compare the model-simulated land-use signal to its intrinsic 
                         variability. Results from additional model experiments will be 
                         analysed to compare the impacts of land-use forcing to CO2 
                         increases and SST variations in explaining the observed climate 
                         variations in the region in the last century.",
